This patch is to implement sender-side procedures for the Outgoing
and Incoming SSN Reset Request Parameter described in rfc6525 section
5.1.2 and 5.1.3.

It is also add sockopt SCTP_RESET_STREAMS in rfc6525 section 6.3.2
for users.

Note that the new asoc member strreset_outstanding is to make sure
only one reconf request chunk on the fly as rfc6525 section 5.1.1
demands.

Now sctp uses chunk->resent to record if a chunk is retransmitted, for
RTT measurements with retransmitted DATA chunks. chunk->sent_count was
introduced to record how many times one chunk has been sent for prsctp
RTX policy before. We actually can know if one chunk is retransmitted
by checking chunk->sent_count is greater than 1.

This patch is to remove resent from sctp_chunk and reuse sent_count
to avoid retransmitted chunks for RTT measurements.

Now before using prsctp polices, sctp uses asoc->prsctp_enable to
check if prsctp is enabled. However asoc->prsctp_enable is set only
means local host support prsctp, sctp should not abandon packet if
peer host doesn't enable prsctp.

So this patch is to use asoc->peer.prsctp_capable to check if prsctp
is enabled on both side, instead of asoc->prsctp_enable, as asoc's
peer.prsctp_capable is set only when local and peer both enable prsctp.

Now sctp uses chunk->prsctp_param to save the prsctp param for all the
prsctp polices, we didn't need to introduce prsctp_param to sctp_chunk.
We can just use chunk->sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for RTX and BUF polices,
and reuse msg->expires_at for TTL policy, as the prsctp polices and old
expires policy are mutual exclusive.

This patch is to remove prsctp_param from sctp_chunk, and reuse msg's
expires_at for TTL and chunk's sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for RTX and BUF
polices.

Note that sctp can't use chunk's sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for TTL policy,
as it needs a u64 variables to save the expires_at time.

This one also fixes the "netperf-Throughput_Mbps -37.2% regression"

sctp_acked() is using 32bit arithmetics on 16bits vars, via TSN_lte()
macros, which is weird and confusing.

Once the offset to ctsn is calculated, all wrapping is already handled
and thus to verify the Gap Ack blocks we can just use pure
less/big-or-equal than checks.

Also, rename gap variable to tsn_offset, so it's more meaningful, as
it doesn't point to any gap at all.

Even so, I don't think this discrepancy resulted in any practical bug.

This patch is a preparation for the next one, which will introduce
typecheck() for TSN_lte() macros and would cause a compile error here.

Every time when sctp calls sctp_outq_flush, it sends out the chunks of
control queue, retransmit queue and data queue. Even if some trunks are
failed to transmit, it still has to flush all the transports, as it's
the only chance to clean that transmit_list.

So the latest transmit error here should be returned back. This transmit
error is an internal error of sctp stack.

I checked all the places where it uses the transmit error (the return
value of sctp_outq_flush), most of them are actually just save it to
sk_err.

Except for sctp_assoc/endpoint_bh_rcv, they will drop the chunk if
it's failed to send a REPLY, which is actually incorrect, as we can't
be sure the error that sctp_outq_flush returns is from sending that
REPLY.

So it's meaningless for sctp_outq_flush to return error back.

This patch is to save transmit error to sk_err in sctp_outq_flush, the
new error can update the old value. Eventually, sctp_wait_for_* would
check for it.

Data Chunks are only sent by sctp_primitive_SEND, in which sctp checks
the asoc's state through statetable before calling sctp_outq_tail. So
there's no need to check the asoc's state again in sctp_outq_tail.

Besides, sctp_do_sm is protected by lock_sock, even if sending msg is
interrupted by timer events, the event's processes still need to acquire
lock_sock first. It means no others CMDs can be enqueue into side effect
list before CMD_SEND_MSG to change asoc->state, so it's safe to remove it.

This patch is to remove redundant asoc->state check from sctp_outq_tail.

prsctp PRIO policy is a policy to abandon lower priority chunks when
asoc doesn't have enough snd buffer, so that the current chunk with
higher priority can be queued successfully.

Similar to TTL/RTX policy, we will set the priority of the chunk to
prsctp_param with sinfo->sinfo_timetolive in sctp_set_prsctp_policy().
So if PRIO policy is enabled, msg->expire_at won't work.

asoc->sent_cnt_removable will record how many chunks can be checked to
remove. If priority policy is enabled, when the chunk is queued into
the out_queue, we will increase sent_cnt_removable. When the chunk is
moved to abandon_queue or dequeue and free, we will decrease
sent_cnt_removable.

In sctp_sendmsg, we will check if there is enough snd buffer for current
msg and if sent_cnt_removable is not 0. Then try to abandon chunks in
sctp_prune_prsctp when sendmsg from the retransmit/transmited queue, and
free chunks from out_queue in right order until the abandon+free size >
msg_len - sctp_wfree. For the abandon size, we have to wait until it
sends FORWARD TSN, receives the sack and the chunks are really freed.

Currently on high rate SCTP streams the heartbeat timer refresh can
consume quite a lot of resources as timer updates are costly and it
contains a random factor, which a) is also costly and b) invalidates
mod_timer() optimization for not editing a timer to the same value.
It may even cause the timer to be slightly advanced, for no good reason.

As suggested by David Laight this patch now removes this timer update
from hot path by leaving the timer on and re-evaluating upon its
expiration if the heartbeat is still needed or not, similarly to what is
done for TCP. If it's not needed anymore the timer is re-scheduled to
the new timeout, considering the time already elapsed.

For this, we now record the last tx timestamp per transport, updated in
the same spots as hb timer was restarted on tx. Also split up
sctp_transport_reset_timers into sctp_transport_reset_t3_rtx and
sctp_transport_reset_hb_timer, so we can re-arm T3 without re-arming the
heartbeat one.

On loopback with MTU of 65535 and data chunks with 1636, so that we
have a considerable amount of chunks without stressing system calls,
netperf -t SCTP_STREAM -l 30, perf looked like this before:

Currently sctp_sendmsg() triggers some calls that will allocate memory
with GFP_ATOMIC even when not necessary. In the case of
sctp_packet_transmit it will allocate a linear skb that will be used to
construct the packet and this may cause sends to fail due to ENOMEM more
often than anticipated specially with big MTUs.

This patch thus allows it to inherit gfp flags from upper calls so that
it can use GFP_KERNEL if it was triggered by a sctp_sendmsg call or
similar. All others, like retransmits or flushes started from BH, are
still allocated using GFP_ATOMIC.

In netperf tests this didn't result in any performance drawbacks when
memory is not too fragmented and made it trigger ENOMEM way less often.

When a msg is sent, sctp will hold the chunks of this msg and then try
to enqueue them. But if the chunks are not enqueued in sctp_outq_tail()
because of the invalid state, sctp_cmd_interpreter() may still return
success to sctp_sendmsg() after calling sctp_outq_flush(), these chunks
will become orphans and will leak.

So we fix them by moving sctp_chunk_hold() to sctp_outq_tail(), where we

The SCTP outqueue structure maintains a data chunks
that are pending transmission, the list of chunks that
are pending a retransmission and a length of data in
flight.  It also tries to keep the emtpy state so that
it can performe shutdown sequence or notify user.

The problem is that the empy state is inconsistently
tracked.  It is possible to completely drain the queue
without sending anything when using PR-SCTP.  In this
case, the empty state will not be correctly state as
report by Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com>.  This
can cause an association to be perminantly stuck in the
SHUTDOWN_PENDING state.

Additionally, SCTP is incredibly inefficient when setting
the empty state.  Even though all the data is availaible
in the outqueue structure, we ignore it and walk a list
of trasnports.

In the end, we can completely remove the extra empty
state and figure out if the queue is empty by looking
at 3 things:  length of pending data, length of in-flight
data, and exisiting of retransmit data.  All of these
are already in the strucutre.

This fix has been proposed originally by Vlad Yasevich. He says:

  When SCTP makes forward progress (receives a SACK that acks new chunks,
  renegs, or answeres 0-window probes) or when HB-ACK arrives, mark
  the route as confirmed so we don't unnecessarily send NUD probes.

Having a simple SCTP client/server that exchange data chunks every 1sec,
without this patch ARP requests are sent periodically every 40-60sec.
With this fix applied, an ARP request is only done once right at the
"session" beginning. Also, when clearing the related ARP cache entry
manually during the session, a new request is correctly done. I have
only "backported" this to net-next and tested that it works, so full
credit goes to Vlad.

We should get rid of all own SCTP debug printk macros and use the ones
that the kernel offers anyway instead. This makes the code more readable
and conform to the kernel code, and offers all the features of dynamic
debbuging that pr_debug() et al has, such as only turning on/off portions
of debug messages at runtime through debugfs. The runtime cost of having
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled, but none of the debug statements printing,
is negligible [1]. If kernel debugging is completly turned off, then these
statements will also compile into "empty" functions.

While we're at it, we also need to change the Kconfig option as it /now/
only refers to the ifdef'ed code portions in outqueue.c that enable further
debugging/tracing of SCTP transaction fields. Also, since SCTP_ASSERT code
was enabled with this Kconfig option and has now been removed, we
transform those code parts into WARNs resp. where appropriate BUG_ONs so
that those bugs can be more easily detected as probably not many people
have SCTP debugging permanently turned on.

To turn on all SCTP debugging, the following steps are needed:

 # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
 # echo -n 'module sctp +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

This can be done more fine-grained on a per file, per line basis and others
as described in [2].

the impression that sctp_outq_init would properly initalize that value for us,
but it doesn't.  sctp_outq_init operates under the assumption that the outq
struct is all 0's (as it is when called from sctp_association_init), but using
it in __sctp_outq_teardown violates that assumption. We should do a memset in

- Move asoc->ipackets++ under a lock to avoid potential miscounts
- Fold asoc->opackets++ into the already existing asoc check
- Kill unneeded (q->asoc) test when increasing rtxchunks
- Do not count octrlchunks if sending failed (SCTP_XMIT_OK != 0)
- Don't count SHUTDOWNs as SACKs
- Move SCTP_GET_ASSOC_STATS to the private space API
- Adjust the len check in sctp_getsockopt_assoc_stats() to allow for
  future struct growth
- Move association statistics in their own struct
- Update idupchunks when we send a SACK with dup TSNs
- return min_rto in max_rto when RTO has not changed. Also return the
  transport when max_rto last changed.

Suppose we have an SCTP connection with two paths. After connection is
established, path1 is not available, thus this path is marked as inactive. Then
traffic goes through path2, but for some reasons packets are delayed (after
rto.max). Because packets are delayed, the retransmit mechanism will switch
again to path1. At this time, we receive a delayed SACK from path2. When we
update the state of the path in sctp_check_transmitted(), we do not take into
account the source address of the SACK, hence we update the wrong path.

I've seen several attempts recently made to do quick failover of sctp transports
by reducing various retransmit timers and counters.  While its possible to
implement a faster failover on multihomed sctp associations, its not
particularly robust, in that it can lead to unneeded retransmits, as well as
false connection failures due to intermittent latency on a network.

Instead, lets implement the new ietf quick failover draft found here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nishida-tsvwg-sctp-failover-05

This will let the sctp stack identify transports that have had a small number of
errors, and avoid using them quickly until their reliability can be
re-established.  I've tested this out on two virt guests connected via multiple
isolated virt networks and believe its in compliance with the above draft and
works well.

When checking whether a DATA chunk fits into the estimated rwnd a
full sizeof(struct sk_buff) is added to the needed chunk size. This
quickly exhausts the available rwnd space and leads to packets being
sent which are much below the PMTU limit. This can lead to much worse
performance.

The reason for this behaviour was to avoid putting too much memory
pressure on the receiver. The concept is not completely irational
because a Linux receiver does in fact clone an skb for each DATA chunk
delivered. However, Linux also reserves half the available socket
buffer space for data structures therefore usage of it is already
accounted for.

When proposing to change this the last time it was noted that this
behaviour was introduced to solve a performance issue caused by rwnd
overusage in combination with small DATA chunks.

Trying to reproduce this I found that with the sk_buff overhead removed,
the performance would improve significantly unless socket buffer limits
are increased.

The following numbers have been gathered using a patched iperf
supporting SCTP over a live 1 Gbit ethernet network. The -l option
was used to limit DATA chunk sizes. The numbers listed are based on
the average of 3 test runs each. Default values have been used for
sk_(r|w)mem.
